    This huge tray of smoked beef ribs was heavy!
    Carey T.

    I attended the recent Temecula wine and food festival this past Saturday. It was a beautiful day and big Dev's down home was one of the food trucks that were providing delicious food for the attendees. I initially did not try big Dev's barbecue as my wife wanted to have a lobster grilled cheese. I should note that there was a silent auction going on and I was able to bid and win a donation from big Dev's where he donated a huge tray of smoked barbecue beef ribs. My family loves beef ribs and so I was thrilled to be taking home his bbq. After the festival, I had a 2 Hour drive back home to West Los Angeles so I was smelling that good barbecue all the way home. Once I did get home I then opened the tray and couldn't believe how generous big Dev down-home was, there were so many bones in there with his meaty beef ribs. I eventually had a beef rib the following day for lunch and it was so delicious so well smoked great flavor. I am looking forward to making barbecue beef rib sliders for a family reunion in a couple of weeks so I'll be sure to post pictures of that on this review as well. Thank you Big Dev, can't wait to cross paths

    Amazing BBQ! The ribs fall of the bone, the chicken is full of flavor, and beans are amazing! He is usually only at street fairs, but he also does catering. If you see his booth you have to give him a try.

    $13 ribs and beans

    Their food truck was in the Sorrento Valley area. Menu was pretty small and simple. I think the menu changes daily. On the menu it was $13 for Ribs & Rolls. I ordered that and requested their sweet & spicy beans instead of the rolls. The guy was nice about it and said ok. My food was put on a regular paper plate and not a to-go box. I got 3 decent sized rib pieces but a very small portion of the beans. The ribs were ok - they weren't tender and the sauce put on it was kind of watery. The beans were really good tho. Not too bad, just disappointed with the price paid and the portion received. They take cash and credit payments.

    The meaty beans are the best.

    See all

    The chicken fell right off the bone, they have the best bbq sauce I've ever tasted and the Mac and cheese was amazing.

Raquel was our coordinator and she made sure all the details aligned with the needs of our wedding. The food was incredible and we even had plenty of leftovers for a gourmet meal the night after our wedding. Thank you Raquel, Anthony and Deb for making our special day so spectacular and memorable. Highly recommend buckboard to cater your next event!

    What makes a great reception and wedding day, food and the bar... Buckboard was a true highlight…read morefor my husband and I, and our guests! The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Every course, from the appetizers to the main courses, was incredible and beautifully presented. Many of our guests reached out about how it was simply such good food. One of our deciding factors was the fact that Buckboard is actually a restaurant here in San Diego, so their food was not just "wedding food" but actually restaurant quality. We fell in love instantly after our tasting. Knowing they are a local San Diego restaurant gave us so much confidence in food quality, and they absolutely delivered. Their service on the day of our wedding was seamless. It felt like everything was handled effortlessly, which allowed us to enjoy the day stress-free. My husband and I planned our wedding on our own and one of the biggest reliefs for us was that Buckboard took care of so many details - from linens, plates, and bar service to the propane for the heaters. Having one point of contact for everything was a great aspect. We truly didn't worry about their services at all day of. Buckboard's familiarity with our venue was another huge plus. They worked in perfect harmony with the venue staff. And as a same-sex couple, we were deeply touched by how welcomed and respected they made us feel throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckboard Catering for their incredible food, great service, and outstanding communication. They made our wedding day not just special, but unforgettable. Thank you, Buckboard, for everything, you're truly the best!

    This is your sign to book with Taquizas Jose! Awesome food and a super communicative, professional…read morestaff. From the moment we inquired to the day of the party, we received several emails confirming the location, setup area, menu, and guest count. I had zero concerns about their ability to execute the plan, and I especially appreciated their 48-hour final confirmation. Our guests (95 total) raved about the food. We ran out of beef a little earlier than expected, but our people do love to eat and appreciated that the staff didn't skimp on portion sizes. I think my guests took "all you can eat" seriously--LOL. My only suggestion would be to let Taquizas Jose know if your group loves to eat, as you may want to factor that into the amount of meat they bring. We've been feasting on leftover beans, rice, and tortillas this week--thoroughly enjoying it. Safe to say no one left hungry, and we're still enjoying it days later. 10/10 would (and hope to) book again for any event!

They set up a table in the backyard and warmed the tortillas fresh before serving. I tried a taco with half chicken and half beef. There were plenty of topping options including onions, cilantro, guacamole, cactus, rice, beans, and red or green salsa, so it was easy to customize. The taco was delicious. I also really enjoyed the roasted veggies they offer. They were a great addition to the meal. The food was tasty and the setup was efficient.
